Ubuntu 14.04 "Trusty Tahr" isn't scheduled for final release until April 17, but because it's a Long-Term Support version, its arrival is the focus of considerable anticipation, particularly among business users.

Also interesting is that a GNOME Classic session is included this time around for those who prefer a more traditional desktop feel reminiscent of the old, well-loved GNOME 2.

Not long ago we learned that Ubuntu will be ditching Unity's global menu and returning to in-app menus instead. I'm hoping we'll see that later this month when the next beta release arrives, since the main, Unity-based Ubuntu version will be participating in that one. Stay tuned for more updates when that happens.
